Texas A&M will retain key assistant on HC Bucky McMillan's 2025 staff
Bucky McMillan has officially retained Assistant Director of Operations Shane Sinon per release.

New Texas A&M basketball head coach Bucky McMillan has assembled his 2025 coaching staff this offseason, adding five veteran coaches, led by Mitch Cole, Kyle Keller, and TJ Cleveland, who all bring a blend of experience and recruiting expertise to the 2025 roster.
While most of the former head coach Buzz Williams' 2024 coaching staff is expected to join Maryland, one key assistant will reportedly stay in College Station under McMillan. According to Texas A&M's media team, Shane Sinon, one of the lesser-known names on the coaching staff, who served as a graduate assistant under Williams last season, will now serve as McMillan's Assistant Director of Operations.
According to Jaxson Callaway (AggiesToday), Sinon served as Buzz Williams' day-to-day assistant, also assisting in traveling and inventory for the program last season. Sinon appears to be a rising star in the coaching ranks and will serve under current Director of Operations Warren Fitzpatrick, assisting with team operations that include recruiting, finances, and media-based situations.
This will likely finish out Texas A&M's 2025 basketball staff, which Bucky McMillan will rely on during his inaugural season and beyond. Again, while Sinon is now a well-known name, it's the lesser-known assistants who are putting in the work behind the scenes.

M&S resumes limited online sales after ransomware attack
Marks & Spencer (M&S) has resumed some online clothes orders six weeks after a damaging cyberattack that the retailer has warned will cost it hundreds of millions of pounds. "Select fashion ranges" are available again for the first time in 46 days for customers across Britain. M&S said that people in Northern Ireland were still missing out as its online operations got back in gear. Money latest: Ransomware hackers broke into its systems in April by tricking employees at a third-party contractor, skirting its digital defences, according to the company. "We are bringing back online shopping this week," said John Lyttle, managing director of fashion, home and beauty. "A selection of our best-selling fashion ranges will be available for home delivery to England, Scotland and Wales. "More of our fashion, home and beauty products will be added every day and we will resume deliveries to Northern Ireland and Click and Collect in the coming weeks." M&S stopped taking clothing and home orders through its website and app on 25 April. Read more from Sky News:Unemployment rate highest in four years Three days earlier, it said it was managing a "cyber incident", with problems for its contactless pay and click and collect services over the Easter holiday weekend. Last month, M&S said it expected online disruption to continue into July and forecast the attack would cost it £300m. However, it expected insurance would cover some of those losses. The company has refused to say if it has paid any ransom to the hackers.

Gen X has become Meta's biggest gold mine
Meta is trying hard to win over Gen Z. But the people actually driving its ad business, are, well, older. The reason for the age skew? Meta's systems show more ads to users who are more likely to buy or sign up for products and services or install an app — and older users who spend more money are more likely to do this. In a Barclays report shared with Business Insider, analysts revealed that Facebook's ad load — the number of ads users see — is significantly higher for older users. The report drew from internal documents that surfaced during Meta's recently concluded antitrust trial with the Federal Trade Commission. "Older demographics see more ads due to their higher purchasing power," Barclays analysts wrote. "This also speaks to the dynamism of the ads stack whereby the company can identify those cohorts with greater willingness to consume ads." According to the report, Facebook users aged 45 to 54 saw the highest ad load at 22%, with those 55 and older and those 35 to 44 close behind. Users age 25 to 34 hovered just above 16%, while 18 to 24-year-olds saw about half of that. Teenagers age 13 to 17 saw the fewest ads of any group, at just 4.3%. Meta has been serving fewer ads to younger users since 2021, the report says. Barclays analysts note that this could be due to the shift to Stories and Reels, where ad formats are still maturing, or a strategic response to increased competition from TikTok. Although age is an important signal that lets Meta decide how many ads a user sees, it isn't the only one. Over the years, Meta has rolled out dynamic ad load technology that adjusts ad volume based on factors like how users behave and who they are. Behind the scenes, Meta's machine learning models like Andromeda and Lattice help determine exactly how valuable each person is to advertisers. Barclays' analysis shows that this is working. Over the last few years, the report says that Meta has grown ad revenue without showing more overall ads to its users, a shift analysts say is "arguably the most bullish development" revealed in the trial disclosures. In other words, Meta doesn't need to shove more ads into everyone's feeds — it just needs to find the people who will actually click. The company still talks about building for the next generation, but behind the scenes, it's engineering its business around the one that pays.
